CGMA Finance Leadership Program

FLP with Astranti

Why do we believe the Astranti Finance Leadership Program is the best value way to study CIMA FLP?

We focus on simplifying complex topics to make learning easy and get people through their exams. We provide high-quality support, one of the market-leading case study courses, and an FLP library with every FLP topic from Foundational to Strategic level covered by videos, study texts, practice questions, or links to further reading.

And don’t just take our word for it. Students give us great feedback too! From over 600 reviews, we currently have an ‘Excellent’ rating on Trustpilot.

If you want an advanced CIMA FLP option, we believe studying with Astranti is a great way to combine the benefits of CIMA’s excellent FLP system in the learning phase with our renowned case study courses focused on getting you through your case study exams first time. Our CIMA/CGMA FLP course also comes with over 20 years of CIMA tuition and student support expertise to support you all the way.

We became the first Approved CGMA Finance Leadership Programme Provider in the UK after Kaplan, who produces CIMA’s Premium course. But we stand out, not just because of our courses, but also because we are the only provider to offer instalment plans for CIMA/CGMA FLP, allowing you to spread the cost of your studies!

“I used Astranti FLP and can absolutely vouch for their materials. They are written in plain English and are really engaging and easy to grasp. I passed my MCS on first attempt thanks to their materials, classes as well as their mock and preseen and industry analysis. I will highly recommend giving Astranti a try

What exactly do you get on Astranti’s FLP?

CIMA FLP Competencies

LEARNING

Use our FLP library to fill the gaps and further test your knowledge when completing each of the FLP subjects.

CGMA FLP platform

Access all of the competency learning material that is available through CIMA’s own FLP system, including study notes, tuition videos, practice questions and competency assessments.

Astranti FLP library

The FLP library gives you hundreds of hours of video, thousands of pages of study text and hundreds of practice questions to hone your skills to get you through your assessments. The idea is not that you read or work through everything here, but that you dip into our materials if you need further explanation while studying or if you fail an assessment and need more support.
You’ll have access to:

  • Reading material taken from our Certificate level and Professional Qualification study texts to help clarify any concepts that you’re unsure of, or provide you with a broader understanding of the subject area.
  • Excerpts from our Certificate level and Professional Qualification video series to provide a video summary of the majority of the key FLP subjects.
  • Subject area practice questions to test your general understanding of each subject you study.
  • Topic assessment questions to prepare you for the topic assessments.
Live FLP webinars

The latest addition to Astranti FLP is our FLP webinar series. These monthly live webinars are designed to focus on the most challenging topics across the CIMA FLP syllabus, helping you gain a genuine understanding of even the most tricky subjects.
You’ll have access to:

  • At least one live webinar every month for the duration of your Astranti FLP subscription.
  • Our expert CIMA tutors in a live setting, with the opportunity to get the answers to your questions when you need them.
  • Our full FLP webinar library, with all previous webinar recordings available to watch whenever suits you best.

I used Astranti for all 3 CIMA Case Study exams – the material (pre-seen review, E3, P3 & F3 course revision, Mocks and industry analysis) was all really comprehensive. The support from Holly, Rikas and the team was amazing… it was a long journey for me and feel the support I received for the final case study got me over the line for sure. The Mock Feedback was probably the difference between a pass and a fail for me so would recommend that to anyone considering which package to purchase! Thank you
Dawn, April 2024

Astranti is one of the best online tuition providers which you can get. During my CIMA studies I bought 3 different products with them (case study, gateway and FLP). All of the products were is extremely informative and full of useful examples. In addition, the whole team is very approachable. I wouldn’t have pass my exams without them!

CIMA FLP Case Studies

CASE STUDY

Join our premium case study courses and get all the study materials, live sessions and support you need to pass.

Pre-seen analysis videos

It’s vital that you fully analyse your pre-seen. This requires a detailed examination of the case study ensuring that every section is fully understood.
Our pre-seen analysis videos provide a page-by-page analysis of every section of the pre-seen. It ensures you don’t miss anything important and helps to build a comprehensive understanding of the material. This is vital if you are to gain high marks in the exam. 

Strategic analysis

It’s extremely important that you have the ability to identify how the pre-seen relates to key models and theories from the syllabus. The examiners expect students to demonstrate a good understanding of the models and theories and make the appropriate links to the case study during the exam.
It can be hard to fully analyse a company using only recently learned models and be confident you’ve got it right. Our strategic analysis has done the hard work for you! 

Industry analysis

It’s critical to demonstrate to the examiner that you have fully understood the pre-seen industry, as a key element to gaining extra high marks in your case study exam.
Researching the industry can be a laborious process, so our team has spent hours doing this research for you! 

Top 10 most likely issues analysis

The top 10 issues identify the 10 most likely issues to appear in the exam. Our case study experts give guidance on how to deal with the issues in your answers and advise which models to use and key points you should raise.
Based on our experience of analysing CIMA case studies for over 10 years, our predictions have been extremely accurate in previous exams, with around 70-80% of topics in the real exams being covered in our top 10 lists. 

Mock exams and debrief videos

Five unique mock exams based on the current pre-seen written by our case study experts, as well as corresponding videos recorded by our tutors to analyse the mock exams and how best to approach them. (Seven mock exams are included if you complete the exam on the August or February exam sittings). 

Expert marking and feedback

Complete three marked mocks by the course deadlines and receive your grade along with tailored exam feedback from your assigned mock marker. Learn specifically what you need to do to pass the real thing. Our markers are then available to answer your questions on how to improve. 

Live online masterclasses

At three points on the course, our experienced case study tutors will guide you through the pre-seen, key theory and top exam tips to get you ready for your final exam, as well as being on hand to answer your questions.

Theory revision video series

We’ve looked at all the past exams and identified the most regularly examined topics at case study and provided you with study texts and revision videos to quickly revise all the key theory. 

Exam technique guide

Arguably the most important aspect of our case study course. This study text and video series show you the secrets of passing the case study exams – and they’re not about learning theory – it’s all about understanding what you need to do to get the markers to give you marks!

Dedicated ethics pack

Ethics is the most commonly examined topic in all three case study exams, so mastering it is cruical, and yet surprisingly difficult. Our ethics pack contains a text book, video and set of practice questions that will ensure you excel in the ethics questions in your exam. 

60 case study questions pack

We’ve taken 60 past exam questions and given them their own brief, tailored scenarios so you can do them without having to learn the relevant past pre-seens. This ensures you have all the question practice you need. These can be completed to get you up to speed prior to the preseen being released, or as extra practice when you’ve completed your mock exams . Each comes with a detailed solution in our recommended exam style. 

I have studied 3x case studies with Astranti and successfully passed them all at first try. Great support and study structure. Recommended.

Very extensive course filled with extra mock exams than other providers I have been with. Exceptional communication and support from tutors and their team, I will be staying with this provider throughout CIMA
Jon Brookes, April 2024

I’ve used Astranti for all my 3 Case Study exams and got a first time pass on each of them thanks to the support and material provided by Astranti. They give so much additional material to help you in your studies and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone there in helping me through my studies. I’ve already recommended them to several people I know in person and will continue to do so for anyone looking to take a case study, FLP route or operational tests!
Dan W, April 2024

How we simplify complex topics

One thing at the centre of everything we do for students at Astranti is making challenging subjects easy to understand.

We use natural language (avoiding jargon wherever we can!)

We include relatable examples that help bring the content to life.

And we aspire to make our content as engaging as possible, making even the most tricky topics easy to digest.

To really help the content sink in, all of our premium courses, including Astranti FLP, come with expert-led tuition videos!

These tuition videos help break down the content into manageable, easy-to-consume chunks while adding some much-needed variety to your studies – which comes in especially handy after hours of reading!

With Astranti FLP, you’ll get access to our entire collection of tuition videos, covering all the theory in our FLP library, all our case study exam technique hints and tips, and our complete analysis of each new pre-seen.

To help you get a feel for the different videos you’ll get access to with Astranti FLP, we’ve provided some examples for you below…

Personalised Tutor & Mentor support

Studying online comes with fantastic benefits like flexibility, cost savings, and the freedom to study at your own pace.

But let’s be honest—online learning can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. Without the right support, challenges like staying on track, managing distractions, or maintaining motivation can creep in.

That’s why our premium CIMA courses include unparalleled support from our expert tutors and dedicated course mentors.

Here’s how we’ll help you stay on top of your studies and pass with confidence:

  • Welcome Call: When you enrol, you’ll have a personal welcome call with your course mentor. Together, we’ll map out your journey, covering key dates, how to make the most of mock marking, and the live masterclasses.
  • Personalised Study Plans: For our CIMA FLP students, we’ll help you create a tailored study plan right at the start to ensure your goals are clear and achievable.
  • One-on-One Support: If you’re falling behind, struggling with low mock scores, or missing key deadlines, we’ll proactively step in to help. Your mentor will guide you back on track with personalised advice and strategies.
  • Expert Guidance Anytime: Got a tricky piece of theory or concept that doesn’t click? Use our course discussion hubs to reach out to our expert CIMA tutors whenever you need help.
  • 24/7 AI Virtual Tutors: We’ve also launched our AI-powered virtual tutors, trained on our study texts to provide instant, accurate answers to your queries. Whether it’s a quick knowledge check, an alternative explanation for a tough topic, or help with a specific question, our AI tutors are available around the clock.

With regular check-ins via email, video call, or both, and the round-the-clock availability of our AI tutors, you’ll always have the support you need to stay focused, meet your deadlines, and pass with flying colours.

What our students say

“I would highly recommend Astranti’s services. They were my learning provider from the operational level to my final SCS exam and I can honestly say that without them I would not have passed my exams first time and now be fully qualified. Whether you’re studying the traditional or FLP route (I done both), their course material and support is five star and even if you’re on a tight budget, their youtube vids and course notes can help get you over the line.”

Antonio Brownie

Astranti FLP Student, February 2024

“Used Astranti for OCS last year, and I have just passed MCS using their FLP programme. My case study mock marks were identical to the actual exam. Fantastic materials as always. Cannot recommend enough.”
